The Stability of the Earth.

The notion that the ground is natu-
rally steadfast is an errOr-an error
which arises from the incapacity of our
senses to appreciate any but the most
palpable and, at the same time, most
exceptional of its movements. The
idea of terra firma belongs with the
ancient belief that the earth was the
center of the universe. 1t is, indeed,
by their mobility that the continents
survive the unceasing assaults of the
ocean waves and the continuous down
wearing which the rivers and glaciers
bring about. Were it not that the con-
tinents grow upward, from age to age,
at a rate which compensates for their
erosion, there would be no lands fit for
a theater of life; if they had grown too
slowly, their natural enemies, the
waves and rain, would have kept them
TO the ocean level; if too fast, they
would lift new surfaces into the regions
of eternal cold AS it is, the incessant
growth has been well measured to the
needs, that for hundred million years,
more or less, the lands have afforded
the stage for prosperous life. This up
ward growth, when measured in terms
of human experience, is slow; it prob
ably does not exceed, on the average,
one foot in three or four thousand
years. The rate varies in times and
places. Under varying conditions, as
when a glacial sheet is imposed on the
continent-as it was in the immediate
past on the northern part of North
Amenca-a wide area of the ice-laden
land sank beneath the sea, to recover
its level when the depressing burden
was removed Still the tendency of
the continents is to elevation, and even
the temporary sinking of one portion
of their area is probably, in all cases,
compensated by uplifts on another part
by which new realms are won from the
sea.-Protessor N. S. Sholer, IN Serb
ner'S Magazine.

The Smallest Sect.

In the old cemetery at Danbury, CT.
rests the bones of Robert Sandman,
one of the founders of the sect called
Sandemanians, and in the same town is
the only Westinghouse of these peo-
pie on this continent. Here assemble
every Sunday faithful band of ten
people, who compromise the descend
ants of the followers of Sandman, who
settled here in 1764 So that this sect
was in existence when the Wesleyans
and Baptists were almost unknown.
In England there are vet few congre-
cations of this sect. One of their
chapels was located in st. Paul's alley,
London, and it was here that the great
scientific philosopher, Michael Faraday
worshiped He who could fill the
largest hall in all London with learned
men from all parts of the world TO hear
his lectures, would on Sunday walk to
this chapel regularly and engage in the
services with the two dozen members.
One of the peculiarities of Sandemanian
form of worship is that they have a
weekly love feast, in which the whole
congregation dine together. 1t was
the original intention to have this take
place in the churches, where dining
room was provided, but in Danbury
they find it more convenient to have
this dinner served at the house of one
of the members. Here they also pray
and sing, and the kiss of brotherhood

The Girl of To-Day.

The Notwithstanding girl who
swings along at four-mile gait is not
only subject for reflection, she is a
theme for admiration, for congratula-
ton, for tenderness, and the sight of
her sends ten thousand new impulses
through the mind and heart. This is
American womanhood. Not the Ameri-
can womanhood of Washington Irvings
day, when fimsy dresses were in style,
which were dampened at night to make
them cling closely to the form, and
when shoes with paper soles were in
general favor and the donning of them
was as good as cordial invitation to
the pneumonia. No; those were the
days not only of meagre brains, but of
diseased and dyspeptic stomachs, hest
tating hearts, pinched cheeks and
fragile limbs. American womanhood
of the past was ghost. This is the
American womanhood of to-day, and
even more truly of the future, heaven
be praised Look at the rosy cheeks,
the sparkling eyes, the shoulders thrown
back, the firm and certain step. Notice
how well nourished the cheeks are, how
deep and true the inspirations and how
plump and well-rounded the arms which
taper down to the well-gloved hands.
Is it not a glorious sight? There is no
chance for paper-soled shoes here.
Broad, substantially-soed button boots
cover the handsome muscular feet, and
in place of the tawdry costume, whose
likeness is preserved for us by dozens
of old engravings, here we have a
neat and well-made cloth suit which
fits the owners form to perfection.
Can anything be more satisfactory to
the eye than this picture of honest
health, of alert, though perhaps of sub
tie, intelligence and womanly beauty?
There may be no suggestion of senti-
mentality here, nothing of what every
day novelists call poetry, but without
any sacrifice of womanliness there is
grace, and, above all, there is life and
strength. -NeW York Mail.

Questions Answered.

M. b., EAST BETHEL.-You are UNI
der no legal obligation to send your
Washington agent another 81 for post
age.
i. w., WoLCoTT.-Others have made
similar complaint of the st. Johnsbury
board of surgeons. We do not know
of any foundation for such complaints.
S. F., ST. JoHNsBURY.--If you took
an appeal to the secretary of the inte-
rior for higher rate of pension last
July you will not be likely to get a de-
cision before next July.
j. G., GAYsvILLE.--The Mexican
pension bill has become a law. 1t re-
quires a service of sixty days or battle
service for a soldier to be entitled to a
pension. Jefferson Davis is not enti-
tied to a pension under this act, the
statements of the newspapers to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
f. p, ELMoRE.-For you to obtain a
pension for service in the Mexican war
you will be required to prove that you
are sixty-two years old. The new in
structions of the commissioner of pen
sions under the recent act of congress
indicate that the pension office will be
exacting in adiudicating such claims.
G.. H., WILLIsTON.-Th highest rate
of pension payable under the general
law is $72 month. This rate is open
to officer and private alike when the
disability reaches degree of helpless
ness requiring the regular attendance
of another person. There are prob
ably not more than fifteen soldiers in
Vermont pensioned at that high rate.
G. H., WOODsTOCK.-It is the prac-
tice of the pension office when the tes-
timony of an officer or soldier is filed in
claim to call on the Acknowledgement
for a copy of the record of the witness
service in the army, with view to as
pertaining whether he was in the place
named in his testimony at the time
mentioned in the testimony. The de-
lay in your claim may be due to such a
call, as it takes two or three months to
get reply from the Acknowledgement.
G. K, NoRwICH.-The soldiers daily
ration at the beginning of the rebellion
consisted of II ounces of pork or bacon,
or 20 ounces of fresh or salt beef:
ounces of bread or flour, or Il ounces
of hard bread or 20 ounces of corn
meal; ga of gill of beans; ounce of
rice; | ounce of coffee, or "a of an
ounce of tea; 2 ounces of sugar; .32 of
gill of vinegar; .16 of an ounce of can
die; ga of an ounce of soap; .16 of a
gill of salt; l ounce Of mixed vegeta-
bles. Officers were allowed money
in lieu of supplies. The monthly al
lowance of a colonel was S54; of lieu
tenant-colonel, $40; of a major, captain
and lieutenants, $50 each.

Passing the Plate.

A ludicrous scene is said to have oc-
CURED on recent Sunday at an En-
glish village, and the facts are vouched
for by the narrator: Previously to the
Sunday on which the congregation were
so scandalized collections had always
been taken in the boxes at the church
door. On that day, however, the pres
ence of the bishop and the special ma
ture of the collection suggested to the
rector that it would be better to adopt
the more modern practice of a pew-to-
pew collection. He therefore beck
oned to the clerk, just as the bishop
was ascending the pulpit, and told him
to fetch two silver salvers from the rec
tory, to hand them around at the close
of the service, and afterward take them
to the bishop. The housemaid at the
rectory not unnaturally concluded that
the clergy needed refreshment, and
thus it came about that the clerk, after
handing two plates of biscuits down the
aisle, presented them to the bishop,
audibly remarking that nobody would
have any"

Norman Thrift.

In the year 1912 poor young woman
of nineteen, named Soucillon, was left
widow in Rouen, France, with two
children, but without penny or roof
to shelter them. For some months af-
ter her husbands death she subsisted
on public charity, but, as she was hon
est and Woodworking, she soon came
to the conclusion, as she phrased it,
"that to get relief from the land would
be better than asking for it from the
people," She began with little bust
ness which cost her nothing for stock.
She gathered wild plants for the drug
gists, and from this proceeded to
flowers, and then to herbs for food.
After two or three years. labor she had
obtained character for honesty and
thrift, and was able to hire cottage
with courtyard and garden. The
courtyard was first occupied by fowls,
and then came a pig, and then cow.
But the real source of wealth was the
garden. 1t was mine. Cabbages,
carrots, turnips, sorrel, parsley, peas
and beans were weekly taken to mar
ket. The river at the foot of the gar
den grew watercresses. In a corner
grew roots of iris, which she sold to the
druggist with chickweed and other SIM
pies. She turned her attention to live
stock, and with the help of her boys
raised rabbits for sale. Her garden
grew medical herbs, and her boys con-
stantly traded in the city with the varied
produce of her little farm. The elder
of the two sons set nets in the river
and caught the cells and cray-fish, and
established station for nurturing and
breeding the latter. Well, the mother
and sons lived happily, though labori-
ously. In process of time they saved
money enough to buy their cottage
and little farm, and then rebuilt the
former in the style of cottage ornee
The sons married, and each has now a
farm and family of his own. Who can
certify to any such case of thrift in these
extravagant United States of ours?

A War Memory.

A few days ago died in Richmond,
celebrity and known to many who
visited the confederate capital during
the civil war. This was Major Isaac
H. Darlington, provost marshal of Rich
mond in that eventful period. A Vir-
ginian by birth, a lawyer by profession,
he was appointed to position in which
lie exercised powers almost despotic.
1t was his business to look after spies,
deserters, stragglers and all the strange
and criminal crew that infested the
confederate capital and to issue pass
ports to all who came and went. He
was man of great courage, boldness
and decision and the secret annals of
his office must contain, if they were in
existence, many strange and interesting
episodes. When Richmond was burned
at the time of its evacuation she execu-
ton of the firing was under his imme-
date supervision. Here is his own
personal statement of that celebrated
event: 81 am requested to state my
knowledge of facts connected with the
fire of April 3, 1865, in the city of
Richmond. was at that date provost
marshal of the city under appoint
ment of the secretary of war of the
confederate states. reported to Gen
eral Ewell as my commanding officer in
all matters relating to the city. Some
weeks before the evacuation of Rich
mond General Ewell sent for me and
informed me that he had orders to
destroy all tobacco, cotton and military
and naval stores in the city in the event
that its evacuation became necessary
He instructed me to make inquiry as to
the amount and location of these ar
ticles in the city. / soon after reported
to him that there was no considerable
quantity of any of these articles, except
ing tobacco, of which there was large
quantity. General Ewell took steps for
having the leaf tobacco in the city, as
far as possible, kept in Shockoe and
Won Groning's warehouses on Cary
street and in the warehouse at the
Petersburg depot. We had frequent
conversations on the subject, in which
he deplored the necessity for executing
the order and expressed the hope that
it could be avoided. On Sunday,
April 2, 1865, General Ewell sent for
me, informed me that the city must be
evacuated, and directed me to prepare
for burning the warehouses aforesaid,
but not to apply fire until the last mo-
ment. sent officers TO those three
warehouses with orders to prepare COM
bustibles in such n manner that they
could be quickly fired, and to place a
sufficient guard at each to prevent dis
turbance. / also sent another officer to
communicate with the chief of the fire
department of the city, to inform him
of the location of fire, and to require
him to have the firemen and their en-
